问题     When lab rats sleep, their brains revisit the maze they navigated during the day, according to a new study (1)_____ yesterday, offering some of the strongest evidence (2)_____ that animals do indeed dream. Experiments with sleeping rats found that cells in the animals’ brains fire in a distinctive pattern (3)_____ the pattern that occurs when they are (4)_____ and trying to learn their way around a maze.

选项 A、why
B、when
C、how
D、where
答案A
解析 why。why引导的宾语从句，作介词for的宾语。句意：这些发现也为人类睡眠是因为要巩固新学到的东西这一主导理论提供了新的证明。破折号后的不定式短语进一步解释why humans sleep，可视为它的同位语，when，how，where各有其义，放在这里显然不合适。
